Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is about enabling a technology-led model for a nation’s growth that is collaborative, equitable, and democratises opportunity at population scale. It is based on a design strategy with layered building blocks, and an innovation ecosystem. Professor Ngaire Woods hosts Nandan Nilekani who will share the journey of India’s digital transformation using DPI.

In this workshop, author and philanthropist Rohini Nilekani will discuss why it is important for the state, market and society to work together to create an equitable society. Rohini will give an overview of the Samaaj-first philosophy, which has guided her civic involvement and personal philanthropy for the past three decades. Through illustrations and examples, she will nudge the audience to critically examine their role as citizens to explore how we can all be more active in creating a strong and just society.
